Mycelium structural composites are building materials derived from the fungal root network, or mycelium, which binds agricultural waste into lightweight, fire-resistant blocks.
Reduces waste from agricultural by-products while providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials like concrete or wood.
The process involves inoculating mycelium onto crop residues placed in moulds. The mycelium grows and binds the substrate together, forming a solid mass that is then dried to halt growth and set its shape.
The manufacturing process occurs in controlled environments such as labs or greenhouses, utilizing renewable resources and minimizing environmental impact.
Mycelium is grown in moulds containing agricultural waste; once fully developed, the blocks are dried to halt growth and maintain their shape.
